Overview

Declarative Programming is a family of advanced paradigms for the modeling and solving of complex problems. These specification and implementation methods have attracted more and more attention over the past years, e.g. in the domains of databases and natural language processing, for modeling and the processing of combinatorial problems, and for establishing systems for the web.

INAP 2009

INAP is a communicative and dense forum for intensive discussion of applications of important technologies related to Prolog, Logic and Constraint Programming as well as closely related advanced software. It comprehensively covers the impact of programmable logic solvers in the Internet Society, its underlying technologies, and leading edge applications in industry, commerce, government, and societal services.

We invite the submission of high quality papers on the described topics, especially, but not exclusively, on different aspects of Declarative Programming, Constraint Processing and Knowledge Management as well as their use for Distributed Systems and the Web:

Workshop Format

The technical program of the workshop will include invited presentations, regular technical sessions with presentations of the accepted papers, system demonstrations and possibly a panel discussion.

Conference Venue

The conference will be held at the University of Évora, Portugal in November 5-7, 2009.

Évora is a pleasant and quiet historical city located in the south of Portugal that can be reached from Lisbon by train or coach in under 2 hours. It is a city of about 60,000 inhabitants, 120 km inland from Lisbon and classified by Unesco as World Heritage.

The University of Évora was established in the 16th Century and is the 2nd oldest Portuguese University.

The social program is promising since the region is very rich in historical sites (Stone Age, Roman, Medieval and Renaissance remains) and also offers a very special gastronomy.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Évora for more information.

Submission Guidelines

Participants should submit a paper (maximum 15 pages, PDF format), describing their work in topics relevant to the workshop. Accepted
papers will be presented during the workshop. At least one author of an accepted contribution is expected to register for the workshop, and present the paper. All submissions should include the author's name(s), affiliation, complete mailing address, and email address.

Authors are requested to prepare their submissions, following the LNCS/LNAI Springer format. Please see:

The deadline for receipt of submissions is June 29, 2009. Papers received after this date will not be reviewed. Eligible papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified via email of the results by August 17, 2009.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to improve their paper based on reviewers' comments and to send a camera ready version of their manuscripts by September 14, 2009.
